Metering

TTL exposure metering using 1,005-segment RGB
sensor

• Matrix: 3D color matrix metering II (type G and D

lenses); color matrix metering II (other CPU lenses);
color matrix metering available with non-CPU lenses
if user provides lens data

• Center-weighted: Weight of 75% given to12-mm circle

in center of frame. Diameter of circle can be changed
to 8, 15, or 20 mm, or weighting can be based on

circle or average of entire frame)

• Spot: Meters 4-mm circle (about 1.5% of frame)

centered on selected focus point (on center focus
point when non-CPU lens is used)

Range (ISO 100, f/1.4
lens, 20 °C/68 °F)

• Matrix or center-weighted metering: 0–20 EV
• Spot metering: 2–20 EV
